Today I went to an event about entrepreneurship. I think it’s interesting to participate these events because I think it’ll be nice to know some things about starting a company if I some day should come up with a great idea for something to develop. Today I heard the last 10 min of a talk about starting a company, and how it grows. I would have like to join the talk from the start, but unfortunately I had a lecture at the time when the event started.
After finally finishing my lecture, I got to join the event as i already told. After the talk from the company “node” we had a little break, for refreshments (didn’t really need them as I just joined) and after that, Microsoft had a lady from the bizspark (I think it’s spelled that way) talk about starting a company, as bizspark is a program for people who are starting software companies. She also talked about how entrepreneurship needs more focus here in Denmark.
After these talks it was time to get something to eat – the event offered free dinner. When we had dinner we got to one of the things i like a lot about these events on entrepreneurship – the energy and the passion for starting companies, and the desire to connect with people, getting to know each other, to help each others start companies. Actually me and my friends joining in on these events have been offered several jobs through this, and we actually have to say no to these, because we lack in skills of programming languages – It’s of cause sad to say no to a job offer, that actually could be really fun, and the face of those people asking! I can see how they feel sad about not finding people who can help them.
In the fall, this organization will be throwing something called start up weekend, where you get to meet a lot of people throughout a weekend and when the weekend is past, you’ll hopefully have developed something. I joined this event last year, and I really had fun this weekend, and I’m really looking forward to it this year! Hopefully through the summer I will learn more programming languages, and I especially hope I will learn PHP.
